Ever since I can remember, I have always been a morning person. There is something so inspiring to me about the morning of a brand new day. Another day to do things the same, or differently, however I want. Did not like how yesterday went? Today, you can do things differently and change that. Liked how yesterday went? Today, you can repeat yesterday’s habits and do it again. Throughout the years, I have acquired morning habits or “rituals” (as some might say) that keep me in a positive mindset for the rest of the day. Today, I am sharing these with you in hopes of sharing my joy for mornings.
The Perfect 4 Year Old Gift: Arts & Craft Cart
This year for Christmas, we were stumped on what to get for our four year old daughter. To put it plainly, she has just about every toy she could want and anything new seemed like just a different version of something she already has. In addition to this, we wanted to be very thoughtful about what we brought into the house, since toys generally seem to just take up space and (after the first few exciting times) not get played with much. We did a lot of brainstorming, thinking about what she loves to do (and what things she will do independently) and we finally came up with an idea that I think may have been the best present we’ve ever gotten her.
